Reports		At least once each year before the annuity start date, we will send the Owner a statement showing the current contract value and cash value along with any other information required by law.

Instructions and Requests		All instructions and requests are effective as of the end of the valuation period in which we receive them unless the event is scheduled to take place at a later date. We may require that you provide signature guarantees or other safeguards for any instruction, request or document you send us. You acknowledge and agree that we are not liable for any loss, liability, cost or expense of any kind for acting on instructions or requests submitted to us that we reasonably believe to be genuine.

		1. another person is named as Owner in the application; or
		2. a new person is named as provided in the Rights of Owner section below.

		4. Select the person to receive the income payments.
		5. Assign or surrender the contract.

		After the annuity start date during the lifetime of the Annuitant the Owner may:
		1. Change the Beneficiary or Owner.
		2. Change the person to receive the income payments.

		We must receive a signed request to exercise any ownership rights.

Assignment		We are not bound by an assignment unless duplicate signed forms are filed with us. We are not responsible for the validity of any assignment. The rights of the Owner and the Beneficiary are subject to the rights of the assignee.

Transferability of Qualified Plans, TSAs or IRAs		If this contract is part of a Qualified Plan, as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a), a Tax Sheltered Annuity (TSA), as defined in IRC Section 403(b), an Individual Retirement Annuity (IRA), as defined in IRC Section 408(b), a Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees Individual Retirement Annuity (SIMPLE IRA), as defined in IRC Section 408(p), or a Xxxx Individual Retirement Annuity (Xxxx XXX), as defined in IRC Section 408A, it is nontransferable. This contract cannot be sold, assigned, discounted, used as collateral for a loan, or as security for the performance of any obligation.

		If this contract is owned by a trust as part of a Qualified Plan, the trustee may transfer ownership to the Annuitant.
		BENEFICIARY
Beneficiary Designation		The Beneficiary is the person or persons named to receive any death benefit payable. The Beneficiary is as named in the application or as changed by the Owner’s most recent signed request.

		Page 7		41720 CA

EXHIBIT (b)(4)(a)


		DEATH BENEFIT

Before Annuity Start Date		We will pay a death benefit if one of the following occurs before the annuity start date and while this contract is in force:

		1. The last surviving Annuitant dies.
		2. Any Owner dies. If any Owner is a non-natural person, then the death or change of any Annuitant will be treated as the death of an Owner.

		If there are multiple Beneficiaries, then the provisions of this section shall apply independently to each Beneficiary. Only one death benefit will be payable under this policy. Upon payment of the death benefit proceeds, the policy will terminate.

		Amount of Death Benefit: If the death benefit is paid on the death of an Annuitant (including an Owner who is an Annuitant) and the Annuitant dies before his or her 80th birthday and before the annuity start date, the death benefit is the greater of:

		1. the contract value on the later of the date that we receive due proof of death and the date when we receive the Beneficiary’s instructions on payment method; or
		2. the minimum death benefit. The minimum death benefit is equal to the sum of all premiums accepted on this contract, minus any proportional reductions for each withdrawal. The proportional reduction in the minimum death benefit is the product of (a) and (b), where:

		(a) is the minimum death benefit immediately prior to the withdrawal.
		(b) is the ratio of the amount withdrawn (including any charges) to the contract value immediately before the withdrawal.

		In all other cases where a death benefit is payable before the annuity start date (e.g., where the death benefit is payable on the death of an Xxxxxxxxx who has attained his or her 80th birthday, or where the death benefit is payable on the death of an Owner who is not an Annuitant), the death benefit is the contract value on the later of the date when we receive due proof of death and the date when we receive the Beneficiary’s instructions on payment method.

		Distribution requirements: If a death benefit becomes payable before the annuity start date, the proceeds must be taken in a lump sum unless we consent to another arrangement within 90 days of receiving due proof of death.

		In all events, distributions will be made from the contract in accordance with Section 72(s) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Thus, notwithstanding any other provision of this contract, if any Owner dies before the annuity start date, the proceeds must be distributed to the Beneficiary within five years after the date of such death or distributed over the life (or a period not exceeding life expectancy) of the Beneficiary provided that such distributions begin within one year of such Owner’s death. However, if the sole Beneficiary is the surviving spouse of the deceased Owner, the contract may be continued (in lieu of paying any death benefit) with the surviving spouse as the sole Owner.

		If an Owner is a non-natural person, then each Annuitant will be treated as an Owner for purposes of these distribution requirements and any change in or the death of any Annuitant will be treated as the death of the Owner for purposes of these distribution requirements. Moreover, if an Annuitant is also an Owner, then the death of such Annuitant will also be treated as the death of an Owner for purposes of these distribution requirements.


		Page 8		41721 CA

EXHIBIT (b)(4)(a)



After Annuity Start Date		If any Owner dies on or after the annuity start date, any remaining payments must be distributed at least as rapidly as under the annuity option in effect on the date of such death.

		If an Annuitant dies on or after the annuity start date, we will pay any remaining guaranteed payments to the Beneficiary as provided by the annuity option selected.

		If an Owner who is not an Annuitant dies while an Annuitant is still living, we will continue to pay the income payments for the lifetime of the Annuitant in the same manner as before the Owner’s death.
		PREMIUM PROVISIONS
Payment of Premiums		Premiums are payable at our Home Office. The initial premium is shown on the Contract Specifications page and is due on the issue date. Subsequent premiums are flexible and may be paid at any time before the annuity start date. Each premium must be at least equal to the minimum subsequent premium payment shown on the Contract Specifications page.

		The sum of all premiums paid to us may not exceed the cumulative premium limit shown on the Contract Specifications page without our prior approval. The Internal Revenue Code may also limit the maximum amount of premiums you may pay.

Allocation of Premium Payments		This contract provides investment options for the contract value. The initial premium allocation percentages are indicated in the application for this contract, a copy of which is attached.

		The premium allocation percentages that you specified in the application will also apply to subsequent premium allocations until you change them. You may change your allocation percentages by giving us written notice.

		Allocation percentages must be zero or a whole number not greater than 100. The sum of the premium allocation percentages must equal 100. An allocation to any subaccount or to the fixed account must be at least $500.

		We reserve the right to limit the number of subaccount allocations in effect at any one time.

		Planned periodic premiums and unscheduled premiums will be invested as requested on the valuation day they are received by our Home Office. The premium payments will be credited to the subaccounts at the accumulation unit value next determined after receipt of each payment.

		We will allocate the initial premium(s) on the issue date to the fixed account unless you specified otherwise in the application. While held in the fixed account, the premium will be credited with interest at current fixed account interest rates. The premium(s) will remain in the fixed account for 20 days, or 40 days if you are over age 59.


		Page 9		41721 CA

EXHIBIT (b)(4)(a)


		CONTRACT VALUES
Contract Value		The contract value on the issue date is equal to:
		1. the initial premium paid; less
		2. any premium taxes due.

		On each date after the issue date, the contract value is equal to the fixed account value plus the variable account value.

Records Maintenance Charge		We will charge a records maintenance charge each year until the annuity start date. The amount is shown on the Contract Specifications page. The charge for a contract year will be imposed on the last valuation day of each contract year. This charge will also be imposed on the annuity start date or the date when the contract is surrendered.

		The fee will be charged against the variable subaccounts and the fixed account proportionately. The portion of the fee charged to each subaccount will reduce the number of accumulation units standing to the credit of the contract in that subaccount.

Cash Value		The cash value of this contract on any date is:
		1. the contract value; minus
		2. the surrender charge, if any, that you would incur if you surrendered the entire contract on that date; minus
		3. the records maintenance charge that would be assessed if you surrendered the entire contract on that date; minus
		4. any premium taxes and optional benefit charges that would be assessed on this contract if you surrendered the entire contract on that date.

		Surrender charges are shown on the Contract Specifications page.

Surrender Charge		A surrender charge will apply to certain partial withdrawals and surrender transactions, and on annuitization.

		When one of these transactions occurs, we will determine if a charge applies. If a charge applies, it will be calculated as if all payments were withdrawn in the same order in which they were made.

		Each contract year, you may withdraw up to the greater of:
		1. the excess of contract value over total premium payments less prior withdrawals that were previously assessed a surrender charge, and
		2. 10% of the contract value determined at the time the current withdrawal is requested without incurring a surrender charge.

		If you withdraw an amount in excess of the above amount, the excess amount withdrawn will be subject to a surrender charge. The surrender charge applies during the entire seven year period following each premium payment as shown on the Contract Specifications page.

		No premiums will be accepted within seven years of the annuity start date.

Surrender of the Contract		You can surrender this contract at any time prior to the annuity start date by notice to us in writing. Upon surrender, the contract will terminate and we will pay you the cash value determined as of the close of business on the surrender date. Unless a later date is specified in your request, the surrender date is the date your written request is received at our Home Office.


		Page 10		41722 CA

EXHIBIT (b)(4)(a)



Withdrawals		Before the annuity start date you may withdraw part of the cash value. Withdrawals are subject to a surrender charge as shown in the Surrender Charge section.

		You will receive a check in the amount of withdrawal you request (less applicable tax withholding), if available. If a surrender charge applies, the contract value will be reduced by the surrender charge plus the dollar amount sent to you. Any premium taxes assessed against this contract on the date of withdrawal will also be deducted from the contract value.

		The minimum withdrawal is $100. You may make only one withdrawal per calendar quarter. A withdrawal is not available if the withdrawal plus the surrender charge would cause the contract value to fall below $500.

		A withdrawal will reduce the amount in each of the subaccounts and the fixed account proportionately, unless you request otherwise.

		The withdrawal will be processed at the values next determined after receipt of your request.

Postponement of Surrenders and Withdrawals		We can postpone payment of any amounts withdrawn from the fixed account for up to six months from the date of the request for surrender or partial withdrawal.
		FIXED ACCOUNT
Fixed Account Value		We determine the fixed account value for any valuation period before the annuity start date as the allocation of any premium less any applicable premium taxes, plus any amounts transferred from the subaccounts, increased by credited interest, and decreased by any transfers and withdrawals from the fixed account and by any charges deducted from the fixed account.

		Guaranteed minimum fixed account values are not less than the minimum values required by the state in which this contract is delivered. Where required, a statement of the method of computing these values has been filed with the state insurance department.

Guaranteed Interest Rate for Fixed Account Value		The fixed account is part of our general account. It is not part of and does not depend on the investment performance of the variable account. We credit interest at rates we determine. We guarantee that the effective annual interest rate will not be less than the rate shown on the Contract Specifications page.

Current Interest Rate for Fixed Account Value		We may use rates that are higher than the guaranteed minimum rate to calculate interest on the fixed account. At the time that money is allocated to the fixed account, we guarantee a rate for a stated period of time, usually 12 months. At the end of that period of time, a new rate is guaranteed for at least a 12-month period. Amounts allocated to the fixed account at different times may be credited with different rates of interest. Any withdrawal or charges deducted from the fixed account value will be allocated among different portions using a last in, first out method. We reserve the right to offer additional fixed account options in the future such as an option that is available only for the allocation of premium prior to the systematic transfer to subaccounts. Special rules may apply to these fixed account options. We reserve the right to credit different interest rates for different policies on the basis of size of contract value, fixed account value, or other criteria that do not unfairly discriminate.


		Page 11		41722 CA

EXHIBIT (b)(4)(a)


		VARIABLE ACCOUNT

General Description		The name of the variable account is shown on the Contract Specifications page. The income, gains and losses of the variable account are credited to or charged against the assets held in the variable account, without regard to any other income, gains or losses of any other variable account or arising out of any other business we may conduct.

		Although we own the assets in the variable account, these assets are held separately from our other assets and are not part of our general account. The assets in the variable account are used to support the operation and provide the variable benefits and values for this contract and similar contracts. The portion of the assets of the variable account equal to the reserves and other contract liabilities of the variable account are not chargeable with liabilities that arise from any other business that we conduct. We have the right to transfer to our general account any assets of the variable account that are in excess of such reserves and other liabilities. The assets of the variable account are segregated by investment options, thus establishing a series of subaccounts within the variable account.

		When permitted by law, we reserve the right to:
		1. create new variable accounts;
		2. combine variable accounts;
		3. remove, combine or add subaccounts and make the new subaccounts available to you at our discretion;
		4. substitute shares of another portfolio of the funds or shares of another investment company for those of the funds;
		5. deregister the variable account under the Investment Company Act of 1940 if registration is no longer required;
		6. make any changes required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 or any other law; and
		7. operate the variable account as a managed investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or any other form permitted by law.

		If a change is made, we will send you a revised prospectus and any notice required by law. If required, we would first seek the approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the appropriate state regulatory authorities before making a change in the investment options.

Variable Account Value Subaccounts		The variable account value is the sum of the values of the subaccounts under this contract. The subaccounts are separate investment accounts named by the company. The subaccount values will fluctuate in accordance with the investment experience of the applicable portfolio of the fund held within each subaccount. The subaccount value is determined by multiplying the number of accumulation units credited to the subaccount by the appropriate accumulation unit value. The number of accumulation units to be purchased or redeemed in a transaction is found by dividing:
		1. the dollar amount of the transaction; by
		2. the subaccount’s accumulation unit value on the date of that transaction.

		At the end of each valuation day:

		§ The portion of any premiums, less any premium tax, received since the preceding valuation day and allocated to each subaccount will be applied to purchase additional accumulation units in that subaccount.
		§ Any transfers to the subaccount from another subaccount or from the fixed account since the end of the previous valuation day will be applied to purchase additional accumulation units in that subaccount.


		Page 12		41848

EXHIBIT (b)(4)(a)


Subaccounts (cont’d)	§ Accumulation units will be redeemed from each subaccount to cover any transfers from that subaccount to other subaccounts or to the fixed account since the preceding valuation day. § Accumulation units will be redeemed from each subaccount to cover any amounts withdrawn or surrendered and any applicable surrender charges assessed against that subaccount since the preceding valuation day. § Accumulation units will be redeemed from each subaccount to cover the portion of the records maintenance charge deducted from that subaccount. § Accumulation units will be redeemed from each subaccount to cover any applicable fees and charges for riders, endorsements and supplemental benefits attached to this contract. § Accumulation units will be redeemed from each subaccount to cover any taxes that, in our sole judgment, have been assessed against this contract or have been assessed as a result of the existence or operation of this contract.
Accumulation Unit Value	The value of an accumulation unit for each of the subaccounts was arbitrarily set at an initial value. The value at the end of any later valuation day is equal to: A x B
	“A” is equal to the subaccount’s accumulation unit value for the end of the immediately preceding valuation day. “B” is equal to the net investment factor for the most current valuation day. This net investment factor equals:
	X	- Z
	Y	- Z
	“X” equals: 1. the net asset value per portfolio share held in the subaccount at the end of the current valuation day; plus 2. the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distribution on portfolio shares held in the subaccount during the current valuation day; less 3. the per share amount of any capital loss distribution on portfolio shares held in the subaccount during the current valuation day.

	“Y” equals the net asset value per portfolio share held in the subaccount as of the end of the immediately preceding valuation day. “Z” equals charges and fees deducted from the subaccount. These consist of:
	1. Mortality and expense risk charges. The mortality and expense risk charges are deducted from each of the subaccounts on each valuation day. They compensate us for providing the mortality and expense guarantees and assuming the risks under this contract. These charges are shown on the Contract Specifications page. 2. Charge for administrative costs. A charge for administrative costs is deducted from each of the subaccounts on each valuation day to compensate us for expenses we incur to administer contracts. This charge is shown on the Contract Specifications page. 3. Any applicable charges, fees and expenses for riders, endorsements or supplemental benefits attached to this contract. We will only deduct these charges if we do not collect them by redeeming accumulation units (as described in the Subaccounts section of this contract).
	The net investment factor may be greater than, less than or equal to one. Therefore, the value of the subaccount may increase, decrease or remain the same.

EXHIBIT (b)(4)(a)


		TRANSFER PRIVILEGE
Transfer Fees		Twelve transfers per year may be made free of charge. Any unused free transfers do not carry over to the next contract year. Any additional transfers during a contract year will be charged a $25 transfer fee. For the purpose of assessing a fee, each written request or telephone request is considered to be one transfer. Transfers made pursuant to an asset allocation or dollar cost averaging program we may offer do not count toward these twelve transfers. The transfer fee will be deducted from the amount being transferred.
Transfers from Subaccounts		After 10 days you may transfer all or a part of an amount from the value in any subaccount of the variable account to one or more of the subaccounts of the variable account. Transfers may also be made to the fixed account, but not during the six months following any transfer from the fixed account into one or more subaccounts. The minimum amount that you may transfer is the lesser of:
		1. $100; or
		2. the total value in that subaccount on that date.
		Any transfer that would reduce the amount in a subaccount below $500 will be treated as a transfer request for the entire amount in that subaccount.
		A transfer fee may apply as described above.
		Transfers will be processed based on values determined at the end of the valuation day during which the transfer request is received at our Home Office.
Transfers from the Fixed Account		You may transfer an amount from the value in the fixed account to one or more subaccounts of the variable account one time during the contract year during the 30 days following an anniversary of the issue date. The minimum amount that you may transfer is the lesser of:
		1. $100; or
		2. the total value in the fixed account on that date.
		Any transfer that would reduce the amount in the fixed account below $500 will be treated as a transfer request for the entire amount in the fixed account.
		We can postpone transfers from the fixed account for up to six months from the date of the request.
		A transfer fee may apply as described above.
Suspension or Modification		We may suspend or modify the Transfer Privilege in the following circumstances: 1. the New York Stock Exchange is closed for other than customary weekend and holiday closings;
		2. trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;
		3. an emergency exists as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, as a result of which it is not reasonably practical to determine the value of the net assets of any Separate Account involved in a transfer you request; or
		4. the Securities and Exchange Commission permits delay for the protection of security holders.
		The applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission will govern as to whether the conditions in 3 or 4 exist.
		INCOME BENEFITS
Election of Annuity Option		On or before the final annuity date (the contract anniversary when the oldest Annuitant is age 95), an annuity start date must be chosen. An annuity option must be chosen on or before the annuity start date. On the annuity start date, the cash value (or, in case of death, the death benefit) will be used to provide annuity payments. On the final annuity date, we will use the second annuity option with a 10 year guarantee period for payment of the cash value if no choice is made.

Payment Interval		You may choose to have payments made at the end of one, three, six, or twelve month intervals. If you do not specify the frequency of payment, we will pay you monthly.

EXHIBIT (b)(4)(a)



Proof of Age and Sex		We may require proof of the age and sex of the Annuitant(s) before any payments are made.

Evidence of Living		We may require satisfactory proof that each Annuitant is living when each payment is due. If proof is required, payments will stop until such proof is given.

Date of Payment		The first payment under any option shall be made on the day of the month you request, subject to our agreement, and will begin in the month immediately following the annuity start date or approval of the death claim for settlement. Subsequent payments shall be made on the same day of each subsequent period in accordance with the payment interval and annuity option selected.

		ANNUITY OPTIONS

First Option		We will pay an income for the lifetime of the Annuitant, ceasing with the last payment due prior to the death of the Annuitant.

Second Option		We will pay an income for the lifetime of the Annuitant, with the guarantee that we will make payments for at least 10 or 20 years. You select either the 10 or 20 year guarantee period.

		If payments have been made for less than the 10 or 20 year guarantee period at the Annuitant’s death, we will pay the balance of the guaranteed payments to the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries for the rest of the guaranteed period.

		If the guaranteed payments have been paid, the payments will stop with the last payment due before the Annuitant’s death.

Third Option		Joint and Survivor Life Annuity - We will pay an income during the joint lifetime of two Annuitants. After the death of one of the Annuitants, we will continue the payments for the lifetime of the surviving Annuitant. The payments will stop with the last payment due before the death of the last surviving Annuitant.

Other Options		May be available with our consent.

		ANNUITY TABLES

Description of Tables		The attached tables show the minimum dollar amount of the first monthly payment for each $1,000 applied under the first, second and third annuity options. Under the first or second options, the amount of each payment will depend upon the adjusted age and sex of the Annuitant at the time the first payment is due. Under the third option, the amount of each payment will depend upon the sex of both Annuitants and their adjusted ages at the time the first payment is due. The adjusted age of the Annuitant is determined by calculating the age at the nearest birthday of the Annuitant on the annuity start date and subtracting a number that depends on the year in which the annuity start date belongs:



		Annuity Start Date		Adjusted Age is Age Minus
		Before 2001		0
		2001 to 2010		1
		2011 to 2020		2
		2021 to 2030		3
		2031 to 2040		4
		After 2040		5



		Once the Owner has elected an annuity option, that election may not be changed with respect to any Annuitant following the commencement of annuity payments.

Minimum Payment		The option elected must result in a payment that is at least equal to the minimum payment amount according to our rules then in effect. If at any time, payments to be made to any payee are or become less than the minimum payment amount, we have the right to change the frequency of payment to such interval as will result in a payment at least equal to the minimum. If any amount due would be less than the minimum payment amount per year, we may make such other settlement as may be equitable to the payee.
